The Ark Cruise 2017: complete line-up & The Jane** pop-up restaurant

HUGE ACTS ON THE ARK FESTIVAL CRUISE FROM BARCELONA TO IBIZA

Good news for all the festival lovers out there, because a large part of the line-up of the festival cruise The Ark has been announced. We’ve written about The Ark previously on Your Little Black Book, but to refresh your memory a bit: 1 boat – 4 days – 7 stages – 50 djs – 4000 passengers and a route from Barcelona to Marseilla and via Ibiza back to Barcelona. You’ll understand… this is going to be the festival of this year everyone will be talking about. It’s going to be a luxuirous mini-holiday on a cruiseship with a four-day festival like you’ve never seen. Masters at Work, Martin Solveig and Roger Sanchez are amongst the acts that travel with on world’s biggest cruiseship The Freedom of the Seas, between August 31 and September 4.

FIRST ACTS OF THE ARK CRUISE FESTIVAL 2017 ARE CONFIRMED

From veterans to young talent. We’re getting excited about the first acts that have been confirmed by the organization! Masters at Work, consisting of Lil’ Louis and Kenny Dope, are literally the masters in house music. Among others they’ve collaborated with artists like Björk, Daft Punk and Donna Summer. Also the French Martin Solveig, who you might know from his hit “Hello”, has been a resident for ten years in Pacha on Ibiza. Chances are you’ve had some drinks there during on of his sets.

The organization behind The Ark Festival Cruise is Flemish-Dutch and that means that the best artists from our own country will be spinning on The Ark. For instance, the Dutch DJ Sam Feldt is booked, known from his summerhit Summer On You, and technostar Stephan Bodzin will be playing a live set. Other Dutchies that will be spinning are dance pioneer Jaydee (Plastic Dreams), Cinnaman, Olivier Weiter and Jan van Kampen. In total there will be over 50 artists on The Ark and the line-up is formed with the best that electronic music has to offer, from deephouse to techno.

Michelinstar restaurant The Jane and other restaurants

On board of the Freedom of the Seas there’s a lot to experience when it comes to music, but the foodies can also be very happy. The Antwerp, two star restaurant The Jane is opening a pop-up restaurant. The righthand man of Sergio Herman, Nick Bril, will travel with as DJ and as chef. This is the chance to enjoy an exclusive menu in a unique setting. Other restaurants on board are De Oesterput, which daily serves lobster menus, an extensive self service restaurant, Windjammer, and a unique, tasteful Mexican restaurant, Sabor. Sounds good right?
